Really miss Maven riding crits. Were the first cycling vlogs I started watching on UKposts.

@abuckeye26 Рік тому

@@mrm95 same, I loved this guy's vlogs and CRIT commentary when he was known as cycling maven.

@cyclingmaven Рік тому

FINALLY got around to making this video. Who's doing the challenge? (tip: Don't!)

@DarenC Рік тому

I've been on Zwift since 2015 and still haven't done most of the long routes, let alone 30 days in a row. No plans to either. 🤣

@mechpatt Рік тому

Congratulations Maven! Really glad you got the video out, I knew how hard this was and wondered how you would make something interesting out of something so static. However you succeeded again, really enjoyed it. You really have a talent mate👍👍

@nikblyth8047 Рік тому

Great video Mark. Followed you as you did this challenge so finally seeing this shows just what you went through (Hannah too). I struggle to do more than 2 hours on the trainer but might try some of the longer routes over xmas. Hats off to ya. 👍

@sianb1260 Рік тому

Great to see you and the family back. Amazing work, so glad you stated that you still found time during the challenge to enjoy life - eg barbi and beer and some time with the children. Hannah once again so supportive.

@robertdmarchand1929 Рік тому

Great to see you back Maven. A whole year's worth of content in the bag I see - looking forward to the Neistat-esque great comeback!

@dimasmateos4127 Рік тому

Congratulations TEAM Maven! There is something to be said about setting your mind on something and fully commit to it. No one can take away that sense accomplishment. Chapeau to you and your family.

@gplama Рік тому

MAVEN! Good to see you mate! (btw - The older Kickrs were vampires. They didn't like direct sunlight)

@technovelodos Рік тому

Was going to post the same thing - you need a little sunshade for the trainer. I forgot about this until a week ago, when the sun was the just the right spot in the sky again and bang -power went crazy. Took me 5 min to remember it was the sun shining in the window.

@ChrisPahor Рік тому

30 minutes of Maven -- an absolute treat! Good to see you're still kicking along Mark.

@tehcarlo Рік тому

Chapeau Maven! I really struggle on the trainer, so this challenge and you knocking it off just blew my mind! Team effort for both you and Hannah, she's awesome! 2 minute noodles as a mid ride snack, can't believe I never thought of that.

@markdoddridge1828 Рік тому

Great to see you back buddy,I still think you make the best vids on UKposts. Hope life is good for you and the family are well.

@steve-d0 Рік тому

Good to see you back Mark. Hopefully more to come.

Incredible accomplishment! Great video!

@lyndababy Рік тому

Wow! Incredible effort and achievement! Chapeau to the support crew 👏👏

@AB-st7tr Рік тому

Cracking Video Mark, not only the riding itself looked tough but the editing was gold standard as usual & 10/10 for Hanna to allow you not only to be able to complete the Challange but also allowing you to walk about with the Hugh Hefner dressing gown on camera 😂 love it champ & see you at sandown “you legend”

@marlonpdot Рік тому

Yes!!! Maven is back!!!! And Hannah is a legend, you guys are are just amazing!

@gillesbensabeur7754 Рік тому

We missed you guys! Another great video

@grantritchie Рік тому

So happy I stumbled upon you and this video, everything about it was ace! Your attitude, the challenge, the storytelling, the filming and the support of your family. It was all incredible and inspiring. I’m subscribed and hopefully there’s more to come! Kudos mate 👏

@ChrisPahor Рік тому

Do yourself a favour and go back through the Maven archives from the beginning. So much great content, amazing people, ups and downs, and fantastic stories!

@dernioo Рік тому

Great performance maven. Myself I'm a hobby zwifter for a year now and I even didn't found the courage to ride the last 6 routes you did in a week for over a year. So: great job. And also a big hug to your family. Like you say, without them it's nearly an impossible job. Well done as well Hannah.

@marnug Рік тому

I remember when you were doing this challenge, I was completing all my route badges, but I was doing 2 or 3 a week. You inspired me at the time, thank you.

@timsearle1980 Рік тому

Heyy!!!!! You did it! Nice one m8!👏 That's a great watch too!

Great to have the maven back. Quality content as usual 👌🏻

@stewarthinsley6995 Рік тому

I struggle to spend more than two and a half hours on a trainer so I'm in absolute awe that you've done that 30days running. Really well done mate 👍

@enaht1 Рік тому

Awesome achievement, well done and congratulations for getting it done

@bicycle697 Рік тому

Great see you back on the youtubes! I miss those heady days when you created something special. But, and it's a big but, you have created something possibly more special since. Peace brother!!

@michaelford495 Рік тому

Great stuff well done 👍

@benanderson9551 Рік тому

Can honestly say this is a mega achievement. The Uber pretzel is so tough. The climbing in all the courses is hard but the mental challenge is next level. Fair play, absolute legend

@sambrown1779 Рік тому

Great video mate. And how awesome is Hannah? What a fantastic partner and support. Healthy kids too. Life's good Mark. Be proud. Love ya work ❤😎✌️

@draugmithrin Рік тому

Great to see you again :)

@paulowen7878 Рік тому

Great to see you back, awesome challenge. Totally lost my mojo over the past few months, not ridden or done anything. Hoping to get myself in a good place to get back on it. This certainly helps the motivation. Thank you

@cyclingmaven Рік тому

Throw the leg back over and start small mate. Mojo will follow.

@chrisfowler6278 Рік тому

ohh mate, what a moment! Hopped on the trainer for the first time in almost 8 months yesterday was thinking about you. Missed your videos. Heck I remember when you and Hannah announced the first pregnancy...time flies. Great seeing this, glad you are well, and yes... Hannah is an absolute legend for this. I watch my wife take care of our 14 month old while Im gone on work, its not easy. You said it right, selfish challenge... but stoked you completed it! Ride on mave!

@clinthoneycutt4246 Рік тому

What a legend!!! This is inspiring! I'm currently doing a 100 days in a row on Zwift challenge with the finish trying to complete the Festive 500...big challenge for me, and like I said this is inspiring. Thanks!!!

@ghyslainhubert139 Рік тому

I just started with Zwift. Didn’t know it could provide that level of training. Wow man ! Good job !

@irondistance4313 Рік тому

That was awesome what a commitment to the indoor trainer especially in summer much respect.

@karsten4689 Рік тому

Amazing achievement! 💪

@1234andrewjones Рік тому

I did the PRL half last night and it’s not the actual cycling which is tough it’s the repetition of it, dreading the full! Mad effort - props from the UK! 👌

@ImGlossy63 Місяць тому

Just stumbled across this and wow that was fun to watch. As a seasoned cyclist if I were to do this I would separate the long/hard days and sprinkle in some easy/shorter rides between as recovery days. Well done Maven and your wife is amazing!!!

@llgmota Рік тому

You are crazy and I would never do that, but I enjoyed watching your pain. Great video and congratulations!

@ccarling Рік тому

Congrats on this. Much respect, and also - I liked your comments at the end about the real-life impact on the family. It’s a constant tension, isn’t it? Anyways, what an accomplishment. Thanks for sharing your experience.
